Evidence Over Narrative
Society is trying to figure out what AI means for work and the answers keep changing.
For years I’ve wanted a single place that synthesizes what we actually know about AI’s impact on economic opportunity: not the hype, not the doom, but the evidence.
This site started as a way to track how predictions about displacement, wages, adoption, and corporate behavior evolve as new research, data, and real-world evidence emerge. It quickly grew into something more: a resource for simplifying complex economic research on how AI will impact jobs so that anyone — whether you’re a workforce leader, a parent with a college-bound kid, or just someone trying to plan — can engage with this new and unclear future in a clear-headed way.
Explore the visualizations ( job tasks, full economy, predictions ) and explainers ( J-Curve, historical context, demand elasticity, early indicators ) or chat with Gob, our friendly research-backed robot. The goal is to help the people who need it most have a more thoughtful, evidence-grounded response to what’s ahead.
Who’s behind this?
Matt Zieger built this as a personal project...to learn, know how to better advise his kids on what the future will look like for them, and to just maybe help everyone else wrestling with these questions navigate an uncertain new world. While not formally affiliated with his day job, Matt is Chief Program & Partnership Officer at the GitLab Foundation, where he leads the AI for Economic Opportunity Fund and co-founded OpportunityAI.
Matt Zieger started this as a weekend vibe coding project 169 days ago. In total this has cost $1,755.83.
